Maybe people don’t think or realize… maybe it’s that they have no respect for their fellow human being, but if you’re walking as 2 or 3… please move so that those coming in the opposing direction down the sidewalk aren’t forced into the ditch or mud so that you don’t get your feet dirty. Single file folks – we can all stay on the sidewalk, and please stop shoulder-checking me on my way home from work. I will not budge. —Share the Sidewalk

Plow through them like a honked-off bull moose.
YES OP. I fucking agree. I think a lot of people have severe separation anxiety
people with dogs always get outta the way…sorry i’ll stop now
Just stop and stand your ground, people won’t generally walk I to a stationary object.
Stand your ground, bitches. People will move if they don’t think you’re going to. These side-walk bitches are written by bitches or bitch-ass bitches!
sam as told someone here before, you gt 2 elbows, USE THEM.
This bitch has a familiar ring to it. The last one was at the commons I think. Like superfreak says, stand your ground and they’ll likely give way.
au contraire mon frere, harper. I’ve had people walk right into me and I was standing still. Where’s a chinese sink hole when you need one.
This issue covered ad nauseum 2007 – 2012 same as bike, bus, fat, baby mama blah blah.
Can we get a new, and really nasty bitch please?
Funny. Pre-school and kindergarten kids can fully grasp the concept of walking in single file, why the fuck can’t most so-called adults?
My favourites are the people who, after meeting someone they know, decide to just stop dead in the sidewalk and have a conversation. Then, when you try to be polite and say “Excuse me”, they look at you like, “How DARE you interupt my social time! I’m talking here!”, and then move a whole 3 inches. Have some fucking situational awareness and move the fuck out of the way, you SET! I have no qualms over doling out a well placed “Gordie Howe” to the ribs if needed.
Yes, this bitch, (along with the one about folks who hog exit doors on a bus, like moths to a flame), appears from time to time, as sadly these types will always be with us. There is a never ending supply of SETs/Idiots in the world. Oddly enough they often know better, they just do not care. Walking is a normal activity – however, walking normally seems to be a problem for many.
Keep practicing those deflection and tackle moves.
Classic bitch…
The only think you can do is go push through them or walk in the mud. Are you going to let them walk all over you like that? Remember to pick your battles though.
*single file indian style facing traffic all the while* sorry childhood brain fart
